However, those beasts already had their spirit intelligence unlocked, so only stared from one hundred metres away.
Feng Jiu, who was standing in front of the pill furnace, turned her palms and the spirit herbs flew into the pill furnace. Some of the spirit herbs had to be processed again once they went in her hands before they were put into the pill furnace. The steps were confusing and complicated to the onlookers.
Qin Xin had prepared the spirit herbs on the table as her Master had instructed then she stood aside and watched. This was the first time she had stayed by her Master’s side to watch as she refined medicinal pills. All she knew was that her Master’s pill refining techniques were very skilled and came naturally to her. Her knowledge of the quant.i.ties of spirit herbs required to be added to the pill furnace and her control over the pill furnace array could be called perfection. Even though she was watching from the side, she was still unable to understand the steps clearly.
She saw her Master turn on the wind array of the pill furnace and the fire roared more fiercely. After burning for a while, the fire calmed down, and as her Master added one spirit herb after another, the scent of medicine that filled the air was no longer of just one medicinal herb but of many kinds of medicinal herbs mixed together.
Some distance away, a group of seventy or eighty mercenaries were walking through the forest when one of them smelt the medicinal scent that filled the air and couldn’t help but stop.
“Big Brother, there is a medicinal scent in the air, it seems to be coming from that direction.” That man said and pointed in the direction where Feng Jiu and the others were. Even though they couldn’t see anyone there, the scent of medicine was obvious.
A tall, thin man behind him smelt the scent of medicine and his eyes flashed with glee, then he walked forward: “Someone must be refining a medicinal pill in here, and judging from the scent of the medicinal herbs, the medicinal pill is not ordinary!”
The man in the lead had a fierce look on his face, and the shape of his body was like that of a tiger’s waist mixed with a bear’s back. When he heard them speak at this time, he squinted and looked in the direction the man pointed at.
“Oh? The medicine is not ordinary? What do you mean by that?” He withdrew his gaze and looked at the tall, thin man who had spoken.
“Captain, from the scent alone I can smell no less than seven or eight precious spirit herbs. Any of these spirit herbs are worth thousands of gold if they were sold outside. Now that so many precious spirit herbs are being mixed together to refine a medicinal pill, even without seeing what the medicinal pill looks like, I can still guess that it must be very precious.”
The tall, thin man said as he stroked the two moustaches above his lips and then he smiled: “Besides, isn’t that the direction of the Snowdrop Flower? The person leading the way said that the Snowdrop Flower is on the cliff ahead. Maybe it has been picked by someone else first.”
After hearing this, the man in the lead squinted and looked ahead, then he sneered sinisterly: “Picked? That is our mission this time. Even if it has been picked, we have to make sure they spit it back out!”
“But… ”
The man’s voice paused, and a ruthless look appeared on his face: “I want to know what people picked the Snowdrop Flower before us and are using it to refine medicinal pills here. If the Snowdrop Flower has really been picked, then we have to keep an eye on the people who are refining the medicinal pill. Once they have refined their medicinal pill, we will s.n.a.t.c.h it!”
“What a great idea, Big Brother!”
“Captain is wise!”
After the two men next to him had spoken, they glanced at each other, then looked away.
The leader glanced at the man beside him and said: “Third Brother, take a few of our brothers over to the cliff and see if the Snowdrop Flower is still there..”
